It was great catching up with Mary & David from London Walks yesterday. I first met them when they visited Sevilla two years ago, and this time I got to take them out on a proper Sevilla Tapas Tour. Happily they were up for anything, so we were able to squeeze into one of my fave places that I can’t usually go to on my tours, as it’s too small and crowded for most people’s idea of comfort. If I have time I hope to go out on one of their London walking tours when I am there next month.

So remember when I went to the Casual Hotel opening party and saw a brief performance by some actors from the Micro Teatro? Well, it turns out that they have started a new project called Micro Flamenco. And it’s fabulous. So fabulous in fact, that it has inspired me to create a new tour that incorporates this. More soon…

There’s a new hotel in town… the Casual Sevilla Don Juan Tenorio in the heart of barrio Santa Cruz. I was invited to the opening party, which started off with a short play about – who else? – Don Juan, performed by four brilliant young actors from Micro Teatro.
Afterwards there were the usual snacks and chatting, and before long I had to head out and take over a tapas tour. My first ever “tag team” event! Ania started off the tour so that I could go to the opening, but she couldn’t stay until the end because she’d miss the last metro home, so we agreed to split the tour and it worked out rather well. I think the clients enjoyed it too. A two-fer.

International food truck Le Streeter opened in the Corte Inglés Gourmet Experience back in December but with so much going on the Official Opening Party finally happened tonight. Cuban music, wine and snacks, cocktails and dancing… a fun way to spend a Saturday night, that’s for sure.

Stuff like this just makes my day. After a couple of hours sorting out “papeles” at the social security office for my online digital certificate, and then setting up appointments for blood tests and my next oncology appointment, it was definitely BEER O’CLOCK. But then I remembered reading about a place I’d never been to (yep, there are still a few of them out there) so Peter and I walked over to the Abacería Puerta Carmona. I had only expected to have a quick beer and go home, instead we met a lovely guy called Chía who offered us manzanilla en rama and mango vermouth… and well, we had to stick around after that. Tried a few tapas, had a great time. Love my job. 🙂
